Montgomery Moving Forward (MMF), the collective impact initiative of Nonprofit Montgomery, is excited to announce that on July 12, the County Council took the final steps to officially launch the new Early Care and Education (ECE) Coordinating Entity. The Council unanimously named the Children’s Opportunity Alliance of Montgomery County (formerly the Children’s Opportunity Fund) as the new Entity and formally approved the appointment of the COA’s first Board of Directors.
The Children’s Opportunity Alliance will function as a public-private partnership that brings together a wide group of stakeholders, including employers, philanthropy, parents, and providers to strengthen ECE in our county.
This is the culmination of four years of work by MMF. We are grateful for the dedication and support of the County Council, the County Executive, the Children’s Opportunity Fund, the Greater Washington Community Foundation, the MMF Leadership Group and the providers, parents, businesses, nonprofits, philanthropies, and many other community partners who made this launch possible.
We could not have come this far without your invaluable advice and assistance! We are excited about the potential this entity holds for transforming access to high quality, affordable ECE for Montgomery County’s families!
Please contact infommf@nonprofitmoco.org if you have any questions or would like to know more about MMF’s role in the creation of the Early Care and Education Coordinating Entity.
